Presenters of papers need to check time for their presentations, which papers they are going to act as discussant for, and when they are acting as chairs of sessions.

Important information to presenters of papers, discussants and chairs of the sessions

When scheduling the conference we have composed sessions with three papers each. The duration of the sessions is two hours and the time slot for the author¿s presentation is maximum 20 minutes. Discussants for each paper have been appointed among the presenters within the session. The discussant has 10 minutes for comments.

We have also appointed a chair for each session. The task of the chair is to help the presenters to keep the timetable, but also to facilitate a discussion at the end of the session, comparing the concepts and contexts in the papers presented. Questions one might pose to the papers could be: Are there similar concepts in the papers and how are they used differently/similar, do they have different meanings? In what way are the contexts in the papers similar/different? Are there any issues that could be raised that relates to all the papers in the session? Time at disposal for this last discussion is 30 minutes.

As mentioned above there have been changes in the programme which makes it very important to check the final programme to verify your tasks.
